Photo Story
First up, new chapter of "House of Pullip". :D
Chapter 376: Friends
Ivy: I’m so glad to see you guys.
Sabrina: Yeah, sure. So glad you just accidentally run into us instead of seeking us out right away.
Ronan: Sabrina…
Ivy: I just got here! I haven’t even unpacked yet.
Ronan: I am happy to see you, Miss Ivy.
Ivy: Thank you.
Sabrina: Hey, I never said I wasn’t happy! I am glad to see you.
Ivy: I admit, I did see Laszlo first…
Sabrina: Hmphf, I knew it.
Sabrina: But I understand. How is the purple head anyway?
Ivy: *shrugs* I don’t know. He didn’t seem all that happy to see me.
Sabrina: *frowns* Maybe I should have a few words with him…
Ivy: No!
Ronan: Sabrina, I don’t think that’s wise.
Sabrina: Forget wisdom, he could at least be happy to see you…if nothing else.
Ronan: Speaking as a man, he may just have been surprised. Most males are not great with tact.
*Sabrina snorts*
Ivy: It’s okay, really. I didn’t expect anything and he wasn’t supposed to wait. If he got married and had a kid by now, I’d be happy for him.
Sabrina: But he didn’t…
Ivy: I know, but I think I just need to take it slow. It’s really okay, I can be patient. And if it doesn’t work out, then I guess it wasn’t meant to be. We’ll both survive.
Sabrina: You really have grown up. I mean that as a compliment, by the way.
Ivy: *smiles and blushes* Thank you.
Elsewhere…
*Taryn enters “The Sweet Shoppe”*
Kiki: Taryn! You didn’t have to come in today!
Taryn: Sure I did, this is my job.
Kiki: I mean you could have taken more time off to spend with Felix and Madeline.
Taryn: I appreciate that, I really do. But Felix is home for good so I’ll be seeing him plenty from now on. Still…that one day off was wonderful, thank you so much.
Kiki: Anytime, you know that. You look so much better…
Taryn: I feel better…at peace.
Kiki: I’m so glad.
Taryn: Now…it’s your time. You and Sebastian…
Kiki: I know, I can’t believe it!
Taryn: It’s going to be special.
Kiki: And soon…
Taryn: Are you okay? Nervous? Scared? Worried?
Kiki: I’m not worried, just a little nervous…but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s just happening really fast. I’m glad, I don’t want to wait anymore…but it’s seems a little…unreal.
Taryn: If it makes you feel any better, I know what you mean.
Kiki: You and Felix got married fast.
Taryn: *nods* But it turned out just fine, and it will be for you, too…I know it. Now, let’s look over those lists and make sure we’ve got everything ordered.
Kiki: *smiles* Sounds good.
To be continued...
Sorry this chapter doesn't offer much in the way of new information, but I hope you enjoyed seeing Sabrina and Ronan again. Plus, as the second part of this chapter indicates, Kiki and Sebastian's wedding/bonding ceremony will be very soon so it's something to look forward to.
Second, I'm going to be taking a little break from the photo story for a while. For one thing, I'm going to be teaching a short series of private swimming lessons for my friend's son and will be short on extra time. For another thing, I need a little extra time to plan ahead for the story. I know what's going to happen, but I haven't really taken the time to organize it out...so I need to work on that. My time should free up again starting the last week in July, so it won't be a long break...but I think I really need it.
Third, the good thing about teaching the swimming lessons is I am going to get paid to do it and it should be enough for me to order the PukiFee I've been saving up for. :D I wanted Zoe before but now I think I want Ante instead. If I like Ante when she comes, and PukiFee in general, then I will possibly think about getting Zoe later. But...I'm not going to get ahead of myself, I don't have the money yet and I'm nervous about teaching swimming since I haven't done if for years and years (I used to be a certified swimming instructor and taught public and private lessons for a few years while in high school and college). I want to make sure my friend gets her money's worth for her son. I did teach my own kids, informally, but because I'm their mom they weren't prone to listen to me much. :P Hopefully, trying to teach a kid who isn't mine will allow me more success. Anyway, I hope it goes well.
How does one properly "advertise" their Etsy store without being obnoxious? I have forum posting on two forums which I update when I add new things, plus I talk about it on Flickr when I list new things and I talk about it here. I'm just wondering how to get out there a tiny bit more. Helpful idea anyone? :P I am hoping to find some time to make at least two more outfits for Lati yellow sometime soon.
